Thank you! Somehow it's never occurred to me to devote a semester or longer to evolution & prehistory. I've always tacked it on rather quickly at the beginning of our ancients year, and never gotten much in depth, but I think my little ones especially might like this idea. Thank you for mentioning the young readers' Sixth Extinction! I would've probably never found it, and that's one I wouldn't want to miss.

I've been looking for a preschool math and completely forgot about this! It looks pretty good so I think I'll try it!

My youngest will be turning 3 in July, so she'll be dipping her toes into some "school" this year. This is a very relaxed plan. Basics: Toddler Lesson Plans Learning ABC's - for a Letter-of-the-Week type thing - I may add in some OPGTR if she's interested. Toddler Lesson Plans Learning Colors - she's pretty good with these but it'll be something fun Kumon books - Let's Cut Paper, etc. for basic skills. Math: Preschool Math at Home - I think this may transition nicely into Wild Math later on. My 5yo will be doing Wild Math 1 next year, so since we'll be outside anyway doing math for him, I may dip into Wild Math K for the 3yo. For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study units Tot School-type activities, lots of crafts, helping in the garden, lots of picture books, dot-to-dots & colouring.

I didn't see a thread for 5th grade, sorry if it's a repeat! This is the only grade I hadn't planned out yet, so here we go. I'd love to see what everyone else is up to! Math: TGTB 4 & 5 (& maybe Math Mammoth) Science & Nature: Blossom & Root Level 2 - Plants & Fungi - starting over summer with younger brother, ties in with the Botany her older siblings are doing Beginning Herbalism unit from Wild Learning Kids' Herb Book + Boreal Herbal - identifying local plants and their uses A bit of gardening, focus on our unique climate Wilderness first aid & survival skills/bushcraft Blossom & Root Level 5 - Astronomy (over winter, since we can't see the stars at other times of the year) maybe some Mystery Science For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study units History: Prehistory, evolution, paleontology/archaeology & mythology Blossom & Root Prehistoric Life from Level 3 Build Your Library's Evolution unit, & Prehistory unit Layers of Learning Ancients Canadian Studies: Geography - Great Canadian Adventure's Canadian Geography Geography - The Canadian Adventure (Canadian Homeschooler) History - My Canadian Time Capsule (Canadian Homeschooler) History - Great Canadian Adventure's Canadian History History - DIY Year 2 Language Arts: Grammar: Fix It? Reading: Lightning Literature Writing: Using Language Well 1 Spelling: Spelling Wisdom 1, Sequential Spelling Handwriting: Canadian Handwriting

This is our second kiddo to get to 11th, so I'm still figuring this out. He needs (either this year or next) a Math 11 & English 11 on his transcripts in order to enter trade school. I'm not sure if he'll do it this year or not. Math: he may take a Math 11 through the school board for transcripts, if not he'll use Teaching Textbooks Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Botany - we'll start this earlier to take advantage of our short summer Crash Course Botany videos Kids' Herb Book + Boreal Herbal - identifying local plants and their uses, herbal remedies, tea blending A bit of gardening, especially for our unique climate Wilderness first aid & survival skills Real Science Odyssey Level 2 Astronomy - winter sub-in for botany since it's too bright at night at any other time of year Socials: Prehistory, evolution, paleontology/archaeology & mythology/cryptozoology Great Canadian Adventure's Canadian Cryptids Layers of Learning Ancients Guest Hollow's Whirlwind World History (Ancients portion) K12 Human Odyssey text Canadian Studies: Canadian History Year 2 Headphone History's Canadian Geography Language Arts: he may take an English 11 through the school board for transcripts Excavating English Lightning Lit 1 semester Canadian Handwriting Misc: French through Rosetta Stone Typing

My little guy's turning 6 in early September and he's been easing into school for Jr. Kindy & Kindy. We took a few programs and did them half-speed to spread them through 2 years. He's pretty much self-taught in reading so I'll need to figure out where he's at. He's tagging along with his older sisters for a bunch of these subjects. Math: The Good & the Beautiful 1 Wild Math 1 & In the Garden with Wild Math Science/Nature: Blossom & Root Level 2: Wonders of the Plant & Fungi Kingdoms - starting over summer Beginning Herbalism unit from Wild Learning Kids' Herb Book + Boreal Herbal - identifying local plants and their uses A bit of gardening, focus on our unique climate Wilderness first aid & survival skills Blossom & Root Level 5 - Astronomy (over winter, since we can't see the stars at other times of the year) For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study units Mystery Science History: Prehistory, evolution, paleontology/archaeology & mythology Blossom & Root Prehistoric Life from Level 3 Layers of Learning Ancients Canadian Studies: Geography - Great Canadian Adventure's - Tiny Travellers Geography - The Canadian Adventure (Canadian Homeschooler) History - My Canadian Time Capsule (Canadian Homeschooler) History - DIY Year 2 Language Arts: Grammar: First Language Lessons 1 Reading: Wild Reading 2 (or All About Reading Level 4, according to the placement test) Writing: Writing With Ease 1 Phonics: Explode the Code 1-3(?) to reinforce concepts Spelling: Sequential Spelling Level 1?

Our little guy will be in kindergarten, and I'm excited to see how this year goes. Math: second half of TGTB K and Wild Math K; board games Science & Nature: Tagging along for B&R 5 Oceanography & Astronomy; For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study Club Language Arts: finish up B&R Level 0; Bob Books; OPGtTR; handwriting probably using wipeable books; board games Social Studies: Everyone else is doing modern history this year, but he's a bit young for that. Big sisters will be doing Layers of Learning World Geography so he'll tag along for that.

We're still working on our plans. Math: Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1 Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Conceptual Physics something for survival, edible plants, etc. (this will be in addition to what he learns at Jr. Canadian Rangers) Social Studies: Donna Ward's Canada in the 20th Century with the modern history portion of Guest Hollow's Whirlwind World History Language Arts: We tried Lightning Lit last semester and liked it so I'm thinking we'll continue with another level Brave Writer Help with High School; Boomerangs Canadian Handwriting Vocab from Classical Roots B Spelling Wisdom 3 & Using Language Well 3 Something for Logic Extras: Masterpiece Society - Art School: Drawing 101 ?

double post!

Copying from last year and editing as I go, this is still a work in progress. Math: Teaching Textbooks Geometry Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Conceptual Physics something for survival, edible plants, etc. (this will be in addition to what he learns at Jr. Canadian Rangers) Social Studies: Careers - some variation of hands-on trial, the Gather 'Round unit, and The One-Week Job Project Donna Ward's Canada in the 20th Century with the modern history portion of Guest Hollow's Whirlwind World History Language Arts: We tried Lightning Lit last semester and liked it so I'm thinking we'll continue with another level Canadian Handwriting G Vocab from Classical Roots C Spelling Wisdom 4 Something for Logic Extras: He doesn't care much for extras like art and music. He does do cross-stitching, and he likes drawing but I don't think he likes being instructed. I'll encourage piano and art but he probably won't want to do it much. Masterpiece Society - Art School: Drawing 101 ? French - Breaking the French Barrier Level 1 Junior Canadian Rangers - he's got his trappers' license and made the marksmanship team (they won nationals!) He just got his learners permit - hubby will do a roadside troubleshooting sort of car maintenance with him & his brother before they get their full license Piano? He's currently working 2 4-hour shifts per week and hoping to continue that Working our way through Home Ec for Everyone We're refinishing our basement & have lots of project on the go so he'll be learning as he goes, + Shop Class for Everyone

Our oldest... This is definitely still a work in progress! He was considering trades, not sure which yet. I'm hoping he'll get to play around with a few throughout the year to really narrow down his interest. We've decided to enrol him in the online classes provided by our (charter school?) homeschool "school board" for Math 10 & English 10. Given that he'll be doing grade 12 for everything else, these are purely to get them on his transcripts as these 2 classes are the sole requirements for the majority of the trade courses here, and without proof he's done them, he can't enrol. We haven't done school board-led classes before, and I don't look forward to it, but I'm hoping that because these are conveniently back-to-back on the same days each week, we'll have an easier time with it. Math: His first semester will be online Math 10 with the school board Second semester I'll continue as planned with a consumer math / personal finance - not sure what we'll use yet. I picked up a unit from Wonder House Creative for filing taxes, and we've got the Budget Simulator game. Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Chemistry in the Kitchen something for survival, edible plants, etc. (this will be in addition to what he learns at Jr. Canadian Rangers) Social Studies: Guest Hollow's Government, Economics, and Personal Finance - switching some US resources out for Canadian, like Creating History's Canadian Civics Careers - some variation of hands-on trial, the Gather 'Round unit, and The One-Week Job Project Donna Ward's Canada in the 20th Century with the modern history portion of Guest Hollow's Whirlwind World History Language Arts: First semester English 10 online class with the school board Second semester either a level of Lightning Lit, or Excavating English?

I'm thinking we need to refocus and simplify, but it's still early planning. This is my brainy guy, still a sponge, loves reading and learning. We're trying some family-style unit studies as a group with lots of added activities. Math: Teaching Textbooks PreAlgebra Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Anatomy FtLoH Nature Study Club / 1000 Hours' Add the Wonder Social Studies: Canadian History Early Modern - History Odyssey Level 2 UK & US history as it pertains to our Canadian history studies Canadian Geography - Headphone History High School Geography World Geography - Guest Hollow's High School Language Arts: Finishing LLfLotR Spelling Wisdom 3 & Using Language Well 3 Brave Writer Help with High School; Boomerangs Canadian Handwriting Vocab from Classical Roots Something for Logic Extras: Masterpiece Society - Art School: Drawing 101 ?

Complete overhaul of our original plans. I want to get back to basics and focus on hands-on/practical knowledge, follow rabbit trails, foster teamwork & togetherness, so we're doing some family-style unit studies as a group with lots of added activities. Math: Giving Teaching Textbooks a try with Algebra 2. Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Anatomy FtLoH Nature Study Club (refresher) / 1000 Hours' Add the Wonder Social Studies: Canadian History Early Modern - History Odyssey Level 2 (+ lots added) UK & US history as it pertain to our Canadian history studies Canadian Geography - Headphone History High School Geography World Geography - Guest Hollow's High School Language Arts: Finishing LLfLotR Spelling Wisdom Vocab from Classical Roots? - I can't remember if he's finished the series Brave Writer Help with High School; Boomerangs, Slingshots Something for Logic Extras: Masterpiece Society - Art School: Drawing 101 ? Finish Breaking the French Barrier Level 1, move on to 2 Not sure what we'll use for Logic Junior Canadian Rangers Working our way through Home Ec for Everyone We're refinishing our basement so he'll be learning as he goes, + Shop Class for Everyone

I'm thinking we need to refocus and simplify, but it's still early planning. We're going to try some family-style unit studies as a group with lots of added activities. Math: Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1 - he's liking this & doing well so far! Science/Nature: Guest Hollow's Anatomy FtLoH Nature Study Club / 1000 Hours' Add the Wonder Social Studies: Canadian History Early Modern - History Odyssey Level 2 (+ added stuff) UK & US history as it pertain to our Canadian history studies Canadian Geography - Headphone History High School Geography World Geography - Guest Hollow's High School Language Arts: He's not a writer.

After a complete overhaul of my already-planned year... we're adding in some family-style unit studies with a lot of hands-on activities added in. Math: We're switching to TGTB, and she placed in Math 2. Science/Nature: Blossom & Root Level 4 Anatomy For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study Club Social Studies: Canadian History Early Modern - History Odyssey Level 1 UK & US history as it pertains to our Canadian history Canadian Geography - The Great Canadian Adventure smash books World Geography - Layers of Learning Language Arts: - LOTS of spelling practice Blossom & Root Level 2 Brave Writer Darts Spelling Wisdom 1 & Using Language Well 1 Canadian Handwriting C Sequential Spelling if it's needed Extras piano maybe French

I feel like we barely got anything accomplished this year. We'll be switching to family-style unit studies with lots of added hands-on. Math: Switching to TGTB this year. The placement test puts her in level 4. She struggles and could use practice so hopefully this'll do the trick. Science/Nature: Blossom & Root Level 4 Anatomy For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study Club Social Studies: Canadian History Early Modern - History Odyssey Level UK & US history as it pertains to our Canadian history Canadian Geography - The Great Canadian Adventure smash books World Geography - Layers of Learning Language Arts: TGTB LA 5.

Blossom & Root Level 4 / Brave Writer Arrows / Growing Brave Writers Or maybe Spelling Wisdom 2 & Using Language Well 2 Canadian Handwriting Vocabulary from Classical Roots 6 Extras: French Piano Masterpiece Society - Art School: Drawing 101 ?

My little guy is turned 4 early September, so this is Jr. Kindergarten/K4. He's a very curious kid and likes to be included in school, but I don't want to rush it so I'm stretching these Kindy programs over 2 years. Math: Alternating weeks of TGTB Math K and Wild Math K;, board games Science: first half of Blossom & Root Level 0 Science, every other week; tagging along with big sisters B&R 4 Anatomy Nature: first half of Blossom & Root Level 0, every other week; For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study Club Language Arts: We'll continue TGTB LA Preschool, then Blossom & Root Level 0; Bob Books Social Studies: His siblings & I are doing a lot of social studies this year. I think he'll be most interested in the Canadian & World Geography, but it won't be required.

We're currently working through Science Mom Biology 2: Genetics and liking it so far. Edit: I just realized this is the high school board. I think the course is middle school.

Thank you, I'll check it out! I was just going to adjust a course my husband took as he still has the textbook, but if this saves me the work then great!

DD is still working on reading fluency. Math - Math Mammoth 2 Science - Elemental Science Biology for the Grammar Stage Language Arts - I've decided to give The Good & The Beautiful Language Arts Level 1 a try this year.

I might try that. Fine Arts - Medieval & Renaissance, not sure which program. Some sort of emergency preparedness unit. Natural disasters, fire drills... a youth version of wilderness safety/survival (?) for bears mostly.

This is what I've got so far... Most of this will be done together with his 7th grade brother, with 10th grader joining for some.
